Netflix on a mac near you?

Netflix announced today that they are expanding their streaming video service to include Macintosh OS X (sorry only the Intel ones). This is being made possible by Microsoft Silverlight (the same technology that carried the Olympics over the Internet). The viewing service has been a windows only due to the odious DRM that Hollywood requires. Hopefully this signals the start of a move towards more platform independent video service. (fingers still crossed for Linux sooner rather then later) Netflix has also added a lot of videos from Stars on Demand and CBS (woot now I can watch new NCIS and CSI with out commercials) Hulu and abc are nice but no commercials is better!
